From the cover: To achieve a really useful general purpose dog it is well worth while taking a good deal of time and trouble over the training writes Michael Brander in this celebrated guide to gundog training, the first to be published on training the pointer-retriever gundog in the English language. Appearing initially in 1957 and reissued in a second edition in 1971, it was reprinted four times in the 1970s.
Michael Brander shows that with skill, and above all patience, almost any dog from any gundog breed can be trained to give its owner the personal satisfaction felt when game is found, pointed, flushed and retrieved by a dog which he has trained himself. The frustrations, the set-backs, the days when all goes wonderfully well and the days when one is convinced that there is no hope for the dog are all discussed, with many helpful hints along the way. He writes with great experience and deep understanding of the training and care of the roughshooters dog.
